Subject: ** QUESTION TO HTX-202 OWNERS **
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
To HTX-202 owners (and others),
I have a 202 to which I occasionally hook up a power supply
(as described in the owner's manual). I even have the Micronta
12-volt regulated power supply that is recommended in the owner's
manual.
On high power the 202 warms up as I transmit (as expected). My
question is: Is the 202 supposed to warm up on low power also?
My reason for asking is because I have a friend who's HT (not
Radio Shack) warms up on high power but NOT on low power.
Is it normal for the HTX-202 to warm up on low power as well as
high power?

OK, I'm thousands of miles away, but:
If your 70cm band is dominated by frequencies reserved for (and
jealously guarded by..) closed repeaters, and that many of these see
only little use, then what is there to stop some nice organisation like
the one that made off with a chunk of your 220MHz band using
measurements of low occupancy as ammunition in an attempt to grab some
very valuable prime spectrum ?
These people can make an awful lot of money out of a MegaHertz. It
doesn't need to be the full band under threat, just a few quiet patches
may be enough to create vulnerability.
Cheers

Basically the reason I haven't complained in this manner is that most of
the repeaters on 2 meters in Southern California *are* open. 2 meters in
Southern California is a delight, with many high, medium and low level
*open* repeaters to chose from.
440, on the other hand, is a wasteland of underutilized spectrum and
private repeaters where the average ham is not welcome.
I'll pass on your other comments.

Well, I hope you have tuned your rigs, checked antennas and
rotators and have had plenty of sleep, or intend to do so this
coming week. Because...
ANARTS WW RTTY DX Contest takes place next weekend. What
better type of contest could one have at this stage of the
solar cycle? RTTY will get through where other modes fail. The
signal can be decoded when your ear cannot hear anything but
noise, and this contest is geographically equalised. The
further the distant station, the more points one can obtain.
Everyone has a chance.
The trophies are worth winning too. A very nice plaque for
first place -- well-received last year by the winners and well
worth having on the shack brag-wall. Besides, think of all the
new callsigns out there to be contacted and, perhaps, the
start of a long radio friendship.
Be in it and make this contest a regular one for your
calendar.
And now for the rest of the rules...

I've been running 50 watts on 2m and 440 mhz (several Kenwood, Yaesu
and Alinco rigs) in my 86 944 for several years with no RFI problems.
The biggest challenge is what kind of antenna to install without
damaging the car. I've had to add rubber gasket material under the
round Cushcraft magmount to preclude damage to the clearcoat finish.

Subject: can u hlp with rpt ant questions?
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
The subject says it all. One of the 2M repeaters I help maintain is in need of
an antenna replacement. Everyone we (technical committee) talk with says to
get a Station Master type of antenna for our installation. We are replacing a
Diamond that didn't survive the New England winter. The Diamond is less than 2
years old and its demise is a story for a different day. I'm seeking opinions
and hopefully some answers.
We were given a Phelps-Dodge antenna. Freq tag removed. I know for a fact
that it was in service at 152Mhz. The hope was to retune this antenna for use
at 146Mhz. When asking around on the proper way to do this I was advised that
this antenna cannot be modified because the antenna is only 20 feet long.
These same people tell us we need one that is 22 feet long. Fact or fiction?
Any help?
I've been offered yet another antenna, I'll have to pay for this one, that has
already been in service in the amateur band. The owner thinks the model number
is PD-220. Cell Wave I believe.
We've contacted a local distributor regarding the purchase of a new antenna.
Cell Wave PD-200. Big bucks. Distributor says this antenna is 21 feet long.
I'm also not sure I've got the model prefix correct.
Now, what is the difference between the 200 and 220? Anyone know?
So now I have reference to three different antenna lengths, 20, 21 and 22
feet. How are these lengths measured and/or specified? Radome length? Bottom
of base to top of radome?
If I find a used one, what key factors should I be looking for? What can and
cannot be modified? I'm looking for personal experience and opinions but
please state where your comments are from in any replys. If one can be
modified from the commercial service then what is the proper way to do this?
What is the right way to take one of these babies apart? The one that was
given to me has a UHF connector inside the base and two allen screws on either
side of it about 2 inches further inside the base. It also has three screws on
the exterior of the metal base just below the radome. Before I end up with a
pile of junk, what needs to come out to get at the interior? Once I get to the
interior what needs to be done to retune the elements. I know the need to get
longer to lower the frequency, but how? Will it be obvious once I get it
apart? If not convertable for use at 146Mhz then how about for use at 446 Mhz
were the elements need to get shorter?
Gary I'm expecting some answers from you.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

CellWave is the current name for the company formerly known as
Phelps-Dodge Communications Products. The Stationmaster is a very good
antenna, and we have had good results with them as long as they are
mounted in a way that they don't whip in the breeze. (Well, 40 mph
winds aren't quite a breeze, I guess.)
I've heard that the most common failure is that the welds
break when the antenna is installed in a way that it flexes in the wind.
Ours that have been side-mounted on the tower have survived for more
than a decade.
They are constructed of copper tubing and rod which is spot-welded
together as alternating coaxial dipoles, cut to length to be resonant
at the tuned frequency. They aren't real broadband, and to lower their
frequency will typically take lengthening the elements, which is not
trivial to do.
I have been told (but never confirmed) that the result of using one of
these at a frequency below its designed freq is not only increased SWR
and lower radiation efficiency, but also that the resulting pattern
tends to tilt skyward. With the tall mountains we have around here,
we have often ordered the Stationmasters with a 5 degree downtilt in
the pattern to improve coverage of cities near the base of the mountains.
I know that the 154 Mhz stationmaster that I inherited from a local taxi
company worked very poorly at 2m.
The Diamond is a very nice antenna - I use them on the ground a lot -
but I don't judge the ruggedness to be sufficient for the raw weather
encountered on many mountains. I've considered making a radome for the
antenna out of some fibreglass tubing from the plastics store, or
perhaps ABS sewer tubing from the home improvement store, filled with
that foaming spray-can insulation. Haven't tried it yet.
We've had good luck with the 'four-pole' style antennas - four or six or
eight stacked dipoles on a mast. They're reasonably rugged, but they
don't survive 8 to 10 radial inches of ice unless they're made of solid
rod, welded. The ham-grade ones made of aluminum tubing didn't last the
whole winter, and believe me, climbing a 75 foot tower on a 6,000
mountain when both are covered with ice is not my idea of a good day.

In a recent posting, JohnK@ATK.com asked about hearing the impact
(via radio of course) of the Shoemaker-Levy fragments with Jupiter.
A short article on this topic will appear in the July issue of QST.
Basically, the answer is this: Yes, HFers with beams for 10, 12, or
15m might be able to hear disruptions of Jupiter's normal radio
emissions due to the impacts. BUT: you will have to monitor over
a long period of time because (1) Jupiter's normal emissions vary
widely in amplitude & frequency due (mainly) to the effects of it
satellite Io; and (2) astronomers can't predict exactly when the
fragments will splash. Consequently, a sudden increase or
decrease in emission might, or might not, represent an impact. It
won't be easy to tell.
Happy listening.

Wow. rec.radio.amateur.misc.conspiracy.theories :-).
I received a HH2PK card directly from Patrick too. The envelope had
the two bottom corners cut off.
I have had the same thing (well, just one corner) happen with cards
from other than Haiti, and I don't even work much DX. I suspect it
has something to do with postal rates rather than some weird conspiracy
theory. HH2PK is probably just cutting corners, heh, heh.
By the way, KA9RLJ is a perfectly good route to get HH2PK's cards from.
I received a second HH2PK card through KA9RLJ recently. Just be patient
if you have sent one in.
I haven't heard Partick on lately. If you need HH, Patrick is often
on during RTTY and Phone contests. The ANARTS contest is this weekend.
